Chaz Bono Is Not 'Bitter or Angry' About Leaving Dancing with the Stars

The angry duo said the judges’ comments were “disrespectful,” and pointed in particular to the way Bruno Tonioli compared Bono to a penguin in his critique.

But on Tuesday, when the pair was eliminated from the competition, it sure seemed like Bono and Schwimmer had put any hard feelings behind them.

“I was quite angry last night,” Bono, 42, told reporters backstage right after his dismissal. “But I feel really good today. I’m not leaving the show bitter or angry or anything. I’m grateful for Lacey and everybody I worked with on the show. It was a wonderful, life-changing experience. I’m so glad I did it.”
